Love In Longing
Ct. 73 (Mommy Cal Decree )
The phone on the table has rang several times. But the overwhelming tiredness and drowsiness made the owner reluctant to take the phone call.
Unbeknownst to him if at the end of the call there was the strongest race on Earth that repeatedly exasperated him.
Until finally he was forced to reach for the phone on the table, because he was worried that the sound of mobile phone vibrations on the table would interfere with Clarice's sleep in the room there.
"Hmm?" he answered very lazily, because he did not know who was at the end of the call.
"Arsen?" call Daddy Ken.
The voice was heard after the sound of prickly shoes that he did not understand. And the sound is very familiar in Arsen's ears even though he is still very sleepy aka not in a 100% conscious state%.
Eyes that were still sleepy immediately opened wide staring at the ceiling of the room that was not too clearly visible.
"Uncle Kenzo!" pekik Arsen's.
And the next second the young man immediately rose from his sleep. Without leaning on the back of the sofa, inevitably he opened his eyes wide with several times rubbing it using the back of the hand to dispel the feeling of heaviness in the eye.
"Yes, Uncle?" reply Arsen.
Although he had tried to resist drowsiness, still he could not not not yawn. Finally he covered it up by disappearing from his own camera. Even so, his voice can still be heard clearly by Daddy Ken and the others.
"Sorry, Uncle is disturbing your sleep..."
"It's okay, Uncle, Aunty!" replied Arsen with his wet husky voice when he saw Mommy Calina also appear on the screen.
"Where's Clarice, Sen?" ask Mommy Calina straight to the point.
"Cla?" rework Arsen. "Cla's sleeping in the room, Aunty" replied Arsen.
"Where are you sleeping?" Mommy Cal pretends not to know.
"Arsen sleeps on the living room couch, Aunty." replied Arsen as is. There was no fear that he showed in the look of his handsome face.
It was just that he could not lie to his heart. For there is a fear which he has in his bosom. If it appears, it will certainly invite suspicious women three children who look to master the screen of his phone.
"Prove it!" mommy Cal's orders don't want to be disputed.
"Cal.." said Eyang Shinta who felt sorry for the sleeping Arsen who had to be disturbed.
"Alright, Aunty!" replied Arsen standing while hiding a mouth that evaporated so sleepy and tired of himself.
It's clearly visible on Daddy Ken's phone screen, if Arsen is walking towards the only room door in Arsen's apartment. A little bit of Daddy Ken can also estimate what a young man's apartment abroad is like to study.
Very slowly, Arsen opened the door to his room, then carefully turned on the main light of the room. Without speaking for fear of disturbing his lover's sleep, Arsen only pointed a camera at his soft bed that was controlled by the lover.
Seen on the bed of the girl who was looking for by Mommy Cal was sleeping under a thick blanket belonging to Arsen. Her face looked calm and remained beautiful as usual.
And one thing that makes Daddy Ken keep a grin on the tip of his lips...
' Maybe he doesn't feel guilty at all for making a mess in the house... '
Daddy Ken muttered in his heart. Feeling anxious and irritated with her runaway daughter to meet her lover abroad.
One thing he had never done, had never even heard of such a story before.
After Arsen showed the entire room, then he turned off the main light again after feeling his lover's parents had enough to know the whereabouts of Cla and the condition of his room.
"He's been sleeping since, Aunty." replied Arsen as he closed the door to his room.
"Why can't the phone be called?" mommy Cal asked flatly after seeing the princess sleeping alone in the room.
"Arsen also doesn't know, Aunty... He just said his phone's still in the bag."
"Since then he hasn't played cell phone?" mommy Cal asked as if she couldn't believe the princess didn't touch the phone at all.
"No, Aunty." replied Arsen again yawned while rubbing eyes wet with tears of drowsiness for the umpteenth time.
"Arsen?" call Mommy Cal in a voice that turns cold.
"Yes, Aunty?" arsen answered with a beating heart a little faster hearing this unusual octave.
"You love my daughter?" ask Mommy Calina by holding the fireworks in the chest so that tears do not fall or re-stabberate in the eye pelukur.
"Do you love him?"
"Yes, Aunty.. Of course."
"Take him! Don't break him, Arsen." Mommy Cal's asking sounds so serious. "Don't hurt him in any way..."
"I know, Aunty." replied Arsen nodding in understanding.
"Aunty hope.he comes home in the same state as when he came. You understand, don't you mean Aunty?"
"Yes, Aunty. I get it!" arsen replied, nodding back.
"I leave him to you as long as he's there."
"Arsen will take good care of Cla... Arsen understood what Aunty was worried about..."
"You know, Aunty would love to pick Clarice up right now!" sniff Mommy Cla. "But his Daddy's words about you led Aunty to believe you could look after him just like his Fathers did when he looked after him."
Arsen was silent, he listened carefully to whatever request the mother of his lover said.
It's just that he feels perverted when equated with how to keep both Father Cla who always keep super tight his daughter.
"Don't break Aunty's trust in you, Arsen!" continued Mommy Cal.
"I'll try my best, Aunty."
"Hmm. thank you, Arsen.." said Mommy Cal when she heard the serious tone spoken by her daughter's lover.
"Yes, Aunty." replied Arsen can now lean his back more calmly than before.
Although he is very sure, it will not be easy to keep yourself from the temptation of the sheath when the only two tangah with the lover. But it has become his duty to obey the wishes of his beloved parents who he has agreed.
"He said no? when's it there?" father Ken took the focus of his phone screen.
"She said. But Arsen doesn't know when he's coming home, Uncle. Arsen hasn't checked the ticket yet."
"Yes, already! I leave my daughter to you until she wants to go back to Indonesia."
The words of Daddy Ken made Mommy Cal's eyes wide open, but finally shrank by itself when only responded by a meaningful gaze from the husband.
"Ready, Uncle!" reply Arsen.
"And make sure he doesn't starve. He really likes to eat. You certainly know that" said Daddy Ken made the whole room giggle considering that that's how the girl in the house.
No exception Arsen. The tense young man boasted laughter on his thin lips hearing Daddy Ken's joke.
Even Mommy Cal, can hardly hold her lips from smiling. But all his heart was holding that smile back from rising.
"Good, Uncle."
"Hm!" dad Ken ended the phone call.
"Satisfied, right?" ask Daddy Ken to his wife.
"We have to believe in Arsen, Cal." said Grandma Nurita. "Mama is sure, Arsen is the young man in charge, even though as old as Mama he used to be very installment..."
"Yes, Ma.." replied Mommy Cal leaning her back against the couch.
***
In New York, after the phone in her hand returned to the home screen, Arsen fell silent, glued to his picture with the lover on the screen.
Heartbroken, hearing both of Cla's parents allow Cla to stay with him in New York until Cla himself asks to go home.
There is a sense of pride and relief when he is trusted to keep a girl who becomes his lover. He really did not expect if it turns out Daddy Ken did not then pick up Cla just like that.
He feels calmer now. Because of Cla's concern for Daddy Ken's sudden appearance it most likely won't happen.
